If you want this
If you want this you're going to have to ask
Nicely please
Yeah if you want this
You're going to have to ask me
You're going to have to ask me
I'll give it to you
I'll give it to you slowly
‘Till you're just begging me to hold you
Ya whatever you want
Whatever you want
But you're going to have to ask me
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you baby ‘till you feel the daylight
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you ‘till you feel the daylight
That's right
That's right
In the kitchen
In the shower
And in the back seat of my car
I'll hold you up
In your office
Preferably during business hours
‘cause you know how I like it when there's people around
And I know how you like it
Yeah I know how you like it
I know how you like it when I tease you for hours
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
And my hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you baby ‘till you feel the daylight
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you ‘till you feel the daylight
Oh and this has just begun
Yeah this has just begun
Because we haven't even gotten started yet
I haven't even
I haven't even tied you up
I haven't even turned you over
This is where I want to live
Right here between your hips
Where all the love you hold and hide
It's where it lives
Right here between your hips
This is where I want to live
It's where all the love you give exists
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
Your head is bent back
Your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you baby ‘till you feel the daylight
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you baby ‘'till you feel the daylight
That's right
Yeah
That's right
That's right
That's right
I'll hold you up
That's right
That's right
I'll drive you all night

She sings about how she will give her partner anything they desire but only if they ask for it. This builds a sense of anticipation and desire within the listener as they imagine what the singer will offer.
Throughout the song, the singer uses imagery to convey the pleasure she is giving to her partner. The lines "in the kitchen, in the shower, and in the back seat of my car" create a sense of sensuality and intimacy.

If you want this
If you desire me, my love and my affection
If you want this you're going to have to ask
You have to request my love with respect and kindness
Whatever you want
I am willing to give you everything you want
I'll give it to you slowly
I will take my time to give you all of me
‘Till you're just begging me to hold you
Until you cannot resist wanting to be loved and held by me
But you're going to have to ask me
However, you have to approach me and express your feelings
Your mouth waters
You crave the feel of my lips on yours
Stretched out on my bed
Lying down, waiting for me to give you everything you desire
Your fingers are trembling
Your nervousness is evident in the way your hands shake
And your heart is heavy and red
Your heart is beating fast, and your emotions are intense and passionate
And your head is bent back
Your head is thrown back in ecstasy as I please you
And your back is arched
Your body is in perfect alignment as I pleasure you
My hand is under there
My hand is supporting you and holding you up
Holding you up
I am there to support you and make you feel loved and cherished
And drive you all night
I will love you and please you all night long
Drive you baby ‘till you feel the daylight
I will keep loving you until the morning light shines through
In the kitchen
I will love you in every corner of the house
In the shower
I will keep on loving you in every intimate moment
And in the back seat of my car
Even in the car, we will keep on making love
Preferably during business hours
Even when we can, we'll make time to love each other
Because you know how I like it when there's people around
I enjoy making love to you, and I like to do it in public or when people are near us
I know how you like it
I know how to make you feel special, loved and cared for
When I tease you for hours
I will love you for long, beautiful moments, teasing your mind and arousing your emotions
This has just begun
Our love journey has only started
Because we haven't even gotten started yet
We still have a lot of love to give and moments to cherish together
I haven't even tied you up
I have not fully explored all the possibilities of our love story
I haven't even turned you over
I have not yet explored all the ways to love, cherish, and be there for you
Right here between your hips
I want to be close to you where all the love and passion reside
Where all the love you hold and hide
Your body is the epitome of love and passion, and I want to be close to you
It's where it lives
Our love lives there, inside you, between your hips
It's where all the love you give exists
Your passion, excitement, and energy radiate from here, and I want to cherish them all.
